The Duggar family continues to address things like a family: In a statement posted to the family website in the wake of yesterday's report about his alleged Ashley Madison accounts, Josh Duggar starts as follows: "I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife." He goes on to express shame about his "double life" and acknowledges that his actions as a teen hurt his friends, family, and fans, and that he has "re-broken their trust."

Though he is light on details, he says his "personal failings" have gone on for the "last few years." He continues, "As I am learning the hard way, we have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. I deeply regret all hurt I have caused so many by being such a bad example." He asks for forgiveness and for prayers for his immediate family: "for my precious wife Anna and our family." His statement was preceded on the page by a brief one from his parents, who say they are heartbroken but "continue to place our trust in God [and] ask for your prayers for Josh, Anna, our grandchildren and our entire family."

I will laugh about this until the end of time. Josh Duggar, devout fundie extraordinaire and lying cheating molester scumbag elite. It is sad for the family though.

My faith is lost. Josh is a Christian Pig. What is sweet breeder mommy saying now? The demons got a hold of him obviously. Go pray more and have 10 more kids to sooth your fake fundamentalist souls. The sooner we never hear their names again the better.

Can the gays really screw up the sacred vow of marriage any worse than this clown?
